Maclean, who died in 2001, was the Mayor of Savannah from 1960-1966 and was instrumental in bringing business leaders and black leaders together during the civil rights movement.

Putting his name on tennis courts is a fitting tribute considering his love for the game.

"He was always working very hard both for the law firm and for the city," said John Maclean, Malcolm Maclean's son. "And whenever he had a chance to break away, it was tennis that sort of gave him the balance and he just loved playing and this would have been a wonderful day and he would have loved it."

The plaque honoring Mayor Maclean was paid for by his law firm.. Hunter/Maclean.
